feature request: multiple extensions in helm-deft-extension

[yherve]

Let me start by saying that this extension is awesome. I've been using it evey day for the last 2 weeks and I wish I knew about it before. It is very fast and easy to configure.

When you have time, there is a small feature that could be interesting: allow to configure a list of extensions instead of just one (typically org, md, txt)

thanks again for sharing this tool

Hello @yherve. Glad that it is useful to you. I've not made this into a standard package, because I thought it has a number of flaws that would require some work. But I've been actually using it as my main tool to jump between my files for years, now. I'll have a look at your request. It should be quite easy to implement, but maybe one should also think about an easy way to switch from a default extension to other extensions, allowing a better way to narrow down.

Hi. Thanks for your answer. After posting the request, I realized that you can provide a custom filtering function. This is what I did and it solved my problem. I think you should advertise more your project (eg on reddit), because it is really helpful.

	   do (assert (file-exists-p dir) nil

	   collect (f--files dir
                         (or
                          (equal (f-ext it) "org")
                          (equal (f-ext it) "md")) t)

	   finally (return (apply #'append reslst)))
